Straight Off the Bookshelf

What books did I read this week? Scroll down to find out.


Astonish Me - Maggie Shipstead
Astonish Me is a fabulous novel about Joan, a ballerina, who had to quit ballet because she became pregnant with her son, but he ends up just as enthralled in the world of ballet as she was. This is a great, great story and it just keeps unraveling from the first page to the last.

One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories - B.J. Novak
If you aren't familiar with B.J. Novak, he was a writer, co-executive producer, and actor on the American version of The Office, as well as other things. With that said, I had very high expectations for this collection of short stories, and Novak found a way to exceed them all. Just the titles from the stories made me excited to read each individual story. I was laughing and gasping the whole time, and I thought it was a great read!

Heartbeat - Elizabeth Scott
Elizabeth Scott has such a way with with writing raw romance novels that make you feel deep emotions. Heatbeat is about Emma, a girl whose mother's dead body is being kept alive through hospital wires just long enough deliver the baby that's inside her, and all the grief that comes along with this situation. However, this grief brings her closer to one unexpected classmate, even though it furthers her away from everything and everyone else that was once important to her. Such a heartbreaking yet lovely story!
